Comment on Run Your Own Television Network in the Browser with Channel Two

This addon (or something like it at least) has been around for 10 years at least for Kodi. https://github.com/PseudoTV/PseudoTV_Live

Probably the best channel I found was playing a random comedy from a list you provide. You could have it follow release order be random if you want. Most media players have a similar feature though usually called something like a smart Playlist, and that really solves most of the issue.

It is an interesting problem though, but also probably a very real sign that you really need to find a hobby.

A strange sentiment to find on this website.

I considered using something like that, and I did indeed have a mostly functional prototype built just using VLC and its playlist management features, but I wanted something that had as few dependencies as possible as well as something where I could draw/program any on-screen graphics I wanted without too much hassle.

Also, writing niche software that nobody else will use basically is my hobby, so mission accomplished :)
